Week 1- Emily Chapman- Shadow in Foreground

 

This is a photo I took of the Claire Trevor School of the Arts sign. I didn't notice until later that the shadows in the foreground allow for the signage to be highlighted in the full sunlight. This reminded me of our discussion about making a choice with negative space while choosing to highlight one area of the stage. While the patterns that the foliage create and the green hues in the plants are interesting, because they are not as bright, they don't distract from the main focus. They only serve to create a more complex setting to frame the sign.
